## Summary

The Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust is currently in the planning stage for a procurement titled "Pathology Managed Service." This project falls under the healthcare industry and encompasses the delivery of pathology services, primarily at City Hospital and Queen's Medical Centre in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. Interested parties should note that an engagement end date is set for 8th August 2018, with a supplier day scheduled for 1st June 2018 to discuss the contract, which has an estimated value of £35 million for an initial term of seven years.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for companies specialising in managed laboratory services, pathology equipment maintenance, and the supply of consumables. Given the nature of the procurement, businesses with expertise in clinical pathology, including blood science disciplines such as biochemistry and immunology, would be particularly suited to compete. The potential for the Managed Service Contract to encompass additional laboratories throughout its term, in line with the establishment of NHSi Pathology Networks, further enhances the business prospects for bidders.

## Notice

Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust ("NUH") Pathology Services is seeking a partner to implement a Managed Laboratory Service Contract for Clinical Pathology that will include the provision of maintenance and replacement of pathology equipment, associated connectivity and the supply of consumables, associated items, chemicals and reagents. NUH Pathology Services are offered from City Hospital and Queen's Medical Centre (QMC), providing a wide range of analytical and advisory services to inpatients, outpatients and other patients in the community. The Managed Service Contract will aid the consolidation of the Pathology Services between the NUH Trust sites, which will improve efficiencies of the service. Due to the potential establishment of NHSi Pathology Networks across England, additional laboratories may be subject to inclusion within the Managed Service Contract throughout the term. The impact of the expansion of the Pathology Services in line with these Networks will be discussed with Bidders during the procurement. It is anticipated that Blood Science disciplines of Pathology will be covered by this procurement, including, but not limited to, Biochemistry, Immunoassay, Haematology, Immunology, pre-analytics and post-analytics. It is estimated the value of the initial 7 years term will be PS35,000,000. To assist in the strategic direction of the procurement and overall solution, NUH Pathology will be holding a supplier day on 1st June 2018. Please send your expression of interest to pathology@htepg.com by 24th May 2018; further details will be released closer to the time. This day will be held in accordance to Regulations 40 & 41 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
